    Hey everyone,

    I am looking for good and effective ways to market my blog.

    I would appreciate all suggestions, even the most random and far fetched.



    Thanks so much,
    Fabien

    Read everything on these forums, almost every question you could have has an answer somewhere here. Honestly, your question is to broad. You're basically saying, "tell me how I can be a success".

    Thanks for your comments whichisbest and space101, as for mattaw101 - the question is not too broad, it is simply asking "how can i get some extra traffic to my site?"

    kind regards,
    fabien

    Sure, that is answerable. Stumbleupon, digg, mixx, reddit (social networks), also you can use forums like this one to bring members. Besides that link bait, reciprocal links and ads, and paid advertising all work.

    social bookmarkers work. Also you can create a free e-report with your blog linked into the report and then submit it on forums and directories.

    This raises a blog question of my own. I recently started a blog on someones advice to market an affiliate program I signed on with. They said this was a great way to drive traffic to the affiliate site. My blog has been blocked by the blog site stating that it was suspicious of spam (or something like that). It is under review now and they will let me know if they will "unlock" it. Has anyone had this problem before? Is using a blog a good way to promote traffic to an affilitate site program?

    Best thing to get more traffic is to write unique content and also install feedburner in your blog. The search engine will drag the visitor to your blog and the visitor will definitely subscribe the feed if they like the post. ALL THE BEST!!!

    You can market your blog using press release, articles, blog postings, pay per post, and directory submission.

    You could always look for blogs related to your topic, post a comment on their blog - and in your signature include YOUR blog link. If you post to blogs with alot of traffic, this will bring some of the traffic your way. Just be sure that you post something useful, otherwise whos to say your post won't get deleted by the blog owner.

    Good Luck!

    A fun idea would be to try to utilize something like yahoo answers or another help site to drive traffic. harder to do, but highly targeted traffic results.

    yes, first have a nice content in your website after that bookmark it to social bookmarking website listed above.After that you will not earn a lot of money coz social bookmarking traffic doesn't convert highly but you get a lot of traffic..

    After that move up for SEO (don't do if you don't have content, it's just waste of time) and get a lot of genuine visitors.

    And read this forum nicely and move forward in online media

    Network with other bloggers in the same industry. The coverage and links you may/may not get form them really can help.

    Good content in the blog shall be first priority.
    Using search engine optimization,
    submitting to blog directories is also important to get the better position in search results.
    ALL THE BEST.

    You could try writing an ebook. I'm going to do it and see if it brings any more publicity. SEO and SMO are probably much more effective, though.
